We had a new topic on Chocolate Covered Bacon tonight, and tried a slightly different format. Please let me know what you think. Today we discussed cheese! How to store it, wrap it and handle it, you know the basics. With some great tips on how to keep it from molding.

We then follow up with some great cheese to try. Manchego is a great cheese for cheddar and parmesean lovers. It's a great sheeps milk cheese that has an amazing flavor that is sure to please. A great serving suggestion is to slice membrillo and place the membrillo on top of slices of Manchego.

We also went into the great story of how Beemster came about, both the polner and the cheese! With some great varieties such as Graskaas and Vlaskaas. I would highly suggest you try these cheese if you can find them at a local cheese shop or grocer.

I hate to let you know that next week we will not be on the air, as I will be attending parts of the American Cheese Societies event in Austin, TX. I will be back live on the air on Thursday August 13th at 7PM EST with a recap of some the great new cheese that I will get to try and the event! So be sure to check out some of the other great shows on Blockhead Radio, as well as the great indie music! I will see you in two weeks!
